Levels: 180, high 4th class and archon; a strong group of 120's might be able to kill him.

NOTES:
- This area is listed under "WHO NOWHERE".

Preparation
Standard reagent and mem check.
Introduction
Alpheus Winterborn resides in his 3rd floor bedroom. The 3rd floor is all NPK and is full of aggro NPCs that spit acid and will frag items that are not insulated. Be sure to put away any items that might get fragged.
From the Entrance to the Mansion, move 3n, 2u, n, 3e, 2u, all west, south into Winterborn's room.
Encounter
Winterborn will not aggro you, so feel free to dispel him and spell him up. All standard spells apply. He is immune to bash, and will cast spells at you including web, magic dart, etc. He is very easy for a hero or archon, might be a bit of a challenge for 3rd class, but is soloable by a 180. A group of strong 120s could likely take him on.
